What the hell happened to all the taxpayer supported buses? And why aren’t these kids riding the freaking buses that the taxpayers are funding?
If I had kids I would never let them ride on a bus, not in this day and age.
There are a few of these private/charter schools near me. Twice per day, for an hour at a time, the roads are completely clogged in all directions with parents cars, dropping off and picking up kids.
School busses constantly stopping traffic to drop off and pick up kids is one thing but this is worse.
Whoever came up with this idea needs to be put in charge of the ‘homeless’ issue...
Some would home school. But the tax dollars are still supporting school busses.
We bus around my area, but every morning and every afternoon there’s a traffic jam over by the dozen schools we have in the area and that’s ridiculous.
Exactly, the default masculine gender pronoun is just to upsetting to snowflakes, I guess.
It sounds like this was a private school though.
When I was in 5th grade, we had moved within the school district but outside the elementary school district.
My parents had sold their house and we rented for a few years.
There were 4 elementary schools but 1 middle school and 1 high school.
I was allowed though to complete 5th grade at my original elementary school. The following year I’d be going to middle school so it wouldn’t matter then.
These were the days before cell phones, and the principal had said he would not be lending any dimes to kids so they could call their parents.
Cub Scouts was cancelled - the other kids in the den told me so. The den leader might have said as much at the previous meeting, but I forgot.
So I decided to walk home. It would have been well over an hour walk if I had done it, although I didn’t realize that at the time.
On the way, I came across one of my sister’s friends (already in middle school) and asked if I could use her phone. She said yes and I called my mom.
I’m not sure but I think my mom must have had some words with the principal because shortly after that he walked back his comments about not loaning dimes to the kids.
The parents should be fined for not taking their kid out of public school.
